After two group matches played each, both City and Zhilstroy-1 sit on 6 points having defeated Slovakian’s Nove Zamky and Northern Ireland’s Glentoran. With an inferior goal difference, only a win will see City through to the last 32 for the fourth successive season, a situation, City Head Coach Eddie Wolecki Black knows his team is more than familiar with.

He said, “Every qualifying campaign we are aware that the final game of the three will ultimately decide our place in the last 32 draw. In the past few years we have topped the group and we know that only a victory will do that tomorrow.

The Ukrainians are a very technical side who retain possession well. They have a talented midfield, wide players that can get up and down the pitch and their main striker brings them into play. We have taken two huge blows to the campaign with both our Captain Leanne Ross and Vice Captain Suzanne Lappin being injured in the previous matches. However, we have a strong squad and I am certain it will be a very competitive City team on the pitch.”
